About text types and text analysis notes

GoConqr Original

What the text types and text analysis notes cover

These notes offer different starting points for reading and writing about texts. Expository Writing: Informative and Explanatory Texts looks at writing that informs, describes and explains. Discourse considers how language is organised beyond the sentence, while Text Structure Notes outlines chronological and sequential structures.

How to use the notes

Start with Text Structure Notes if you want a short way into how a text is organised. Then read the notes on context and mode to consider questions such as whether a text is written, spoken or multi-modal, and whether it is planned or spontaneous.

For essay practice, Language Analysis Essay Structure offers prompts for an introduction, including the writer’s viewpoint. Make your own brief notes as you read, then switch to a quiz on the unit page when you want to check your understanding. Pick a note and begin with the approach that suits your task.
